About

Providing straightforward information pertaining to drugs, drug use & drug policy. The Grey Pages promotes drug-related literacy and advocates a system of viable and tolerant drug policies. This is my personal collection of commentaries, essays, tid-bits, and other such writings on everything ranging from drug use, drug policy and drug-myths, to drug-science, addiction, human behavior, and the workings of the human brain. I started this blog with a particular focus on opioids, and over the past year have found my interest gravitate toward the intriguing, ever-changing world of designer intoxicants (i.e. "research chemicals" or "designer drugs").

Bromo-DragonFLY Vault

Bromo-DragonFLY (or BDF) is a synthetic psychoactive compound derived from the amino-dibenzofuran moiety. This compound is structurally similar to phenethylamine. BDF has a very limited history of human use, and only in recent years has emerged as a research chemical.

It produces primarily psychedelic/hallucinogenic effects, similar in nature to the popular psychedelic phenethylamines and tryptamines (DMT, psilocybin, mescaline, etc). Its main mode of action is agonist activity at multiple serotonergic receptors; most significantly the 5HT2A subtype, which is believed to modulate the major subjective and behavioral properties of most classic psychedelics and hallucinogens.
